The FTSE MIB edged higher to around 52,100 on Tuesday, modestly extending gains from the previous session as sentiment continued to improve following easing oil prices amid a pause in hostilities between the US and Iran.
Investors also continued to digest a fresh batch of corporate earnings.
Lottomatica gained more than 3% after reporting better-than-expected earnings and reaffirming its upbeat 2026 outlook.
Other top performers included Ferrari (+1.5%), Leonardo (+1.9%), Mediobanca (+1.1%), and Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (+1.1%).
Meanwhile, Saipem plunged more than 7% after the oil and gas contractor lowered its 2026 core earnings guidance to reflect additional costs related to the Middle East crisis and reported a sharp drop in second-quarter profit.
Other notable laggards included technology-related stocks, with STMicroelectronics and Prysmian falling more than 1% and 2%, respectively, tracking the global technology selloff.
